Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 225 words per minute, which is the average adult reading speed. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute.
Does it count special characters?
Yes. The 'Characters' count includes all characters (letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation). 'Characters (no spaces)' excludes whitespace.
How are sentences counted?
Sentences are counted by detecting sentence-ending punctuation (periods, exclamation marks, question marks). If no punctuation is found but words exist, it counts as 1 sentence.
